This is THE best sub
Posted by SelectLifeguard3902@reddit | GenX | View on Reddit | 123 comments
I'm just here to say that Reddit overall gets depressing to me with all the rage baiting and whining and complaining about every little thing. But this one is amazing - the best most wholesome sub, with positive conversations, no whining, and the best questions/comments ever. Thank you fellow GenXers you make my day :)

Welcome!

I guess it is when you are an American Gen.X. It sometimes feels very alien to me.
Confirmationbias10@reddit
ok, back to building forts and drinking hose water!
Pretty_Actuator_3559@reddit
The best!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
FlipDaly@reddit
My 13 year old said that at the dinner table and then made a troll face. I died.
Any-Dependent-1109@reddit
a refugee from the inevitable r/all demise. looking for "a few good subs"* to watch now that my personal algorithm has been disrupted.
*had to go dial up the 1985 Marines commercial: "We're Looking For A Few Good Men." el oh el
or whatever
whyarewetrying@reddit
I’m new to Reddit and I have the same thoughts!!!
SmashJacksonIII@reddit
lol, every time I post something here it gets removed by the mods. That rarely happens in other subs. It's ironic that the whatever crowd is so heavily moderated.
GenX-ModTeam@reddit
If you have a question or concern, contact the mod team directly and do not post in the sub.
Junior_Statement_262@reddit
whatever... :)
sa123xxx@reddit
Yeah, no complaining here! WTF
Summerie@reddit
To be fair, it's difficult to distinguish GenX's complaining from sarcasm.
JimboFett87@reddit
I dunno about that. I got temp banned for a few days and I have no idea why.
But whatever.
MaximumJones@reddit
You know exactly why, you not only got a notice about it in your comment, you also got a modmail very specifically explaining the reason.
Why lie about it?
JimboFett87@reddit
Actually I don’t. The notification process is horrible and wasn’t clear. But like I said, whatever bygones etc.

Agree

Pielacine@reddit
Yeah somebody posted a post about the state of the world and said “no politics as per rules” and I said “how do you discuss this topic without politics” and I got a ban so idk?
JimboFett87@reddit
Tha must have been it. Not that I care.

ms_directed@reddit
this and r/bald. I'm not bald and have no worry that'll I'll ever be, but man is that sub a serotonin boost daily!
Kodiak01@reddit
There's plenty of love for /r/trees as well.
ms_directed@reddit
oh, nice! i’ll be lurking those too!
BmanGorilla@reddit
I should have guessed there was a sub for that. I don’t need a sub for that. As soon as I remove my hat it’s clear to the room that I’m not bald, it’s just a solar panel for a sex machine!
ms_directed@reddit
why would that get a downvote ffs??! does someone need a hug?
everything_is_holy@reddit
Probably jealousy, ha. My hair is definitely thinning, but whatever.
ms_directed@reddit
lol, perhaps. i just love the positivity vibes in that sub - there are a lot of lurkers in there =) lord knows we need some these days!
TrickQuiet9630@reddit
“excuse me, we’re doug and wendy whiner. i’ve got diverticulitis…is this the right subreddit?”🤣
kat_storm13@reddit
Well great. Now you've made me hungry for macaroni and cheese.

I feel like that too.
HalfwaydonewithEarth@reddit
slade797@reddit
Hold on, according to messages we get every day, this sub is shitty, whiny, and “lame.” It is over-moderated by a bunch of boomennialz who are not Gen X masquerading to push the agenda of
BmanGorilla@reddit
Damn right you are, now come over here so I can say it to your face! Only losers hide behind the internet! Lol.
Upbeat_Ant6104@reddit
What’s a mod?
slade797@reddit
I can demonstrate, if you like.
🤣

😭
ProfessionalLength26@reddit
This makes me sad. Thank you for your service
slade797@reddit
Ordinary_Story_1487@reddit
Thank you for what you do. So many subs are full intolerance. Evil liberals, Evil conservatives, pro business, anti business. I see actual conversations in the Gen X sub. Vs most of reddit where if you think different you are evil and the enemy.
I think this is the second time I praised mods ever. Other was r/stopdrinking lol
slade797@reddit
Thanks, much appreciated.

crone_Andre3000@reddit
It's because we are the best and the smartest and most beautiful
BmanGorilla@reddit
Pretty sure that’s pick any two :)

Also Sagittarius?
crone_Andre3000@reddit
indeed
Maleficent-Adagio150@reddit
I am!
Disastrous-Style-461@reddit
Hah! I felt that ♐️
Ray_The_Engineer@reddit
I’ll get downvoted for it, but I feel like there is quite a bit of whining here. I’ve recently started skipping the topics that pop up sounding like they’re complaining about other generations, they feel overlooked, etc. No one likes my takes on those lol.
SelectLifeguard3902@reddit (OP)
I feel like if you are true GenX blood, you know everyone is overlooked and there's no use complaining lol.
ExtraAd7611@reddit
What you talking about Willis? Complaining can be incredibly gratifying. I try to complain about something every day.
BmanGorilla@reddit
Exactly, I’m not sure how to speak in a non-complaining fashion at this point in my life!
Ok-Conversation-7292@reddit
Yup, that's right.
FredOaks15@reddit
Don’t they know? We don’t like anyone.
AvailableAd6071@reddit
MaximumJones@reddit
You are right. Please report those posts for violating Rule 2 (which includes generation bashing). It really is getting tiresome.
anothercynic2112@reddit
FWIW, and I may get banned from Reddit and or the Internet for this but, some props to the mods who don't let all the noise and divisive shit in here.
It's a freaking safe harbor here and I for one appreciate it.
Epicassion@reddit
It actually avoids being overtly political and virtue signaling. Kind of rare and nice change of pace.
BmanGorilla@reddit
That’s so hard to do these days. It’s so nice to be able to bitch about normal things
Beautiful_Coat_9294@reddit
There is a lot of complaining on Reddit but you have to filter it out
BmanGorilla@reddit
Yeah, well, that’s just your opinion man. And why the f does my left hip hurt this morning?

This is a Gen X reference. Nothing but love. Please don't ban me.
SelectLifeguard3902@reddit (OP)
Loved it ♥️
Bloody_Mabel@reddit
This is sarcasm....right?
SelectLifeguard3902@reddit (OP)
Not at all lol. I think the topics are fun and everyone here is pretty chill. Today I saw a post where someone saw their mom on the same thread and said “hi mom” and the reply was “hi honey I told you I signed up” I mean how do you find that level of adorable anywhere these days 🥰

I know, and I'm ok with that :)
Elgiard@reddit
Before I clicked I honestly thought this was going to be about who makes the best sandwich.
TreaclePerfect4328@reddit
We all know your mom does.
SelectLifeguard3902@reddit (OP)
Lol
SelectLifeguard3902@reddit (OP)
Damn, that would have been a great thread lol. Remember when Subway was new, and awesome?

ReplyProfessional939@reddit
That's how we roll baby...
SelectLifeguard3902@reddit (OP)
Indeed :)
Tomatillo-5276@reddit
Too many topics that are actually universal being shoehorned into being "Gen X".
And sooooo many Boomer Jr takes.
slade797@reddit
Yeah, there’s that whining I was taking about.

jamgirlup@reddit
Gen Xers are the best. We don't take shit, we don't whine about it and we mostly keep to ourselves. I also love this sub ❤️
Mobile-Boss-8566@reddit
That’s because we rock!!!
Kestrel_Iolani@reddit
I agree. For a bunch of badass whatever-muttering old farts, we're pretty supportive and kind.
drknowdr1@reddit
I want to like this sub but it brings me down- every other post is colon cancer or shingles vaccine or how people plan to retire---just let me enjoy my nostalgia without more stress
Infinite-Lychee-182@reddit
Agree, but my guitar and weed subreddits are groovy too.
rock0head132@reddit
the weed subs have been great IDK about The music subs
Late_Homework_2705@reddit

renegade7717@reddit
totally agree. GenX sub for the win daily! Guess it’s generational? 😂
